If for whatever reason we can't get a hold of the owner, we then have to proceed to use the power of the worldwide web to dig up any information we can on the owner and their car-(begin sarcasm) the part we love most (end sarcasm).ĭevoid of any sort of backstory, all we are left with are visual depictions of a story left untold. In those instances, it is our job to get in touch with them to see if they can give us some sort of story about their build. Some tech sheets are filled out in an incredibly detailed fashion, with every important aspect of the build documented, but sometimes you get little to no information at all, with the questions we ask responded to in one or two words. These tech sheets open the lines of communication between the owner and the writers for the magazine, and usually includes every important piece of info you'll need, from knowing which parts were used, right up to the entire back story on how the car came together. We see a car, find the owner, arrange for the car to be shot and have them fill out various forms, one of them being the 'tech sheet'. How these features come together before they hit print is pretty predictable. In the years that I've been writing for Super Street, we've seen it all all types of cars, different styles of tuning and getting to know each personality that makes up our crazy world. Breaking the fourth wall usually means that you're being pulled out of an imaginary scenario but in the world of automotive publication, what you're seeing and reading is very real. (Still clueless? Clearly you're too young to know what SBTB or who Kelly Kapowski is.) What I'm trying to do today is something similar-sort of. If you don't know what the hell the "fourth wall" is, try to remember an episode of Saved by the Bell when Zach Morris freezes time, turns to the audience and speaks directly to them-that's what's considered "breaking the fourth wall". Let's break the "fourth wall", so to speak, for a different twist on what you're used to reading. Instead of going the traditional route of telling you a story behind an enthusiast's build, we're going to try something a little different. We know that his name is Joshua Antolin and he hails from the great state of Hawaii-and that's about it. ![]() The offset in the rear are very aggressive but some of you have been using 25mm spacers on stock wheels so it should be similar.To be completely honest with you, there isn't very much we know about the owner of this Championship White 1993 Civic CX. The lips are still polished aluminum.įor the S5: These wheels were used on an S5. It is not bright silver, but not gun metal either. These wheels were recently professionally powdercoated ($550) to a unique silver color. ![]() Wheels are true and not bent to the best of my knowledge. The other rear wheel has a small "chip" on the lip. One rear wheel has a light scuff on the lip. Plug these specs into an offset calculator (google it) and it's an extra 10mm outward compared to stock in the front and an extra 28mm in the back.Ĭondition: Excellent condition. I measured the backspace and calculated the offset to be ET16 for fronts and ET17 for rears. Offsets: JLine doesn't disclose the offsets. I have the hubcentric rings for 66.6mm that the A/S5 uses. $2,000 plus shipping.Ĭenter Bore Diameter: Approx 72mm. FS: Set of 20" JLine SDMsl2 (step lip) wheels.
